Zodiac Snake

A long time ago, snakes and frogs were friends, but snakes were long then. Therefore, of course, human beings hate snakes.

When snakes find that people hate them, they begin to hate people. They bite people and eat animals when they see them, which makes the world very restless. When the land god saw it, he sued the Heavenly Palace. The Jade Emperor sent the snake to the Heavenly Palace and advised him to change evil and do good. However, the snake spoke wildly and had no intention of repentance. The jade emperor was furious and made the magic weapon cut off the snake's four legs so as not to harm people. Since then, the snake has lost four legs, and the jade emperor saw that the frog has made contributions to others and gave the snake's four legs to the frog. Frogs are more diligent when they have legs. The snake repented of its mistake and made up its mind to remould itself. It also began to eat pests and dragged its long body, doing good deeds for mankind without saying a word. The snake also followed the dragon to learn to control water. After its death, it also dedicated its body to human beings and treated many patients as medicine. The Jade Emperor saw that the snake could change its mind, and made great efforts. When he decided to seal the zodiac, he put it behind the dragon and became the human zodiac.

After the snake became a zodiac, of course, it didn't take the initiative to hurt people. Once the evil thoughts germinated, it turned into a layer of skin to show that it was a new person. Nevertheless, it still bears a grudge against the frog for having its four legs, so until today, the snake still bites the frog when it sees it. The frog knew that he had taken advantage of the snake, so when he saw the snake, he would tremble with fear and hurried away. Obviously, snakes became the zodiac by their own efforts.

This feat of the snake is as great as Prometheus who stole skyfire to the world. The famous Mayan Ku Courquin Temple, which means the Quetzalcoatl Temple. The favorite of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, is a snake symbolizing wisdom and longevity. Hermes, the envoy of Zeus, always held a double snake staff symbolizing privilege. As for India, it is a country full of snake worship.

In fact, the legendary ancestor of the Yellow Emperor, Nuwa, was worshipped by the snake totem. This series of phenomena shows that snakes have a long history of indissoluble bond with human beings, so it is not surprising that China people regard snakes as their own zodiac signs. From 9: to 11: in the morning (that is, "Si Shi"), it is said that most snakes hide in the grass at this time, which will not hurt people or wander on the road where people walk.
